Choose the right room or suite for a honeymoon
Pick a room type that fits how you want to spend time together: ocean‑view balconies are convenient for morning coffee and private sunset time, while suites give separate living space for longer stays or guests who want room to spread out.
Room names on site include offerings such as Room, Balcony (Ocean Panoramic), Suite, Miami Suite, Suite, Balcony, Ocean View, Suite, 1 Bedroom, Balcony (Ocean Vista), Junior Suite and Skyline Loft (listed on the property page). If a balcony or ocean view matters, request Room, Balcony (Ocean Panoramic), Room, Terrace (Ocean Vista) or Suite, Balcony, Ocean View at booking.
- Ask for an ocean‑facing balcony if you want direct view and private outdoor seating (photos show balcony ocean views).
- For extra living space choose Miami Suite or Suite, 1 Bedroom for separate living/dining areas.
- If you prefer a signature loft feel, check availability for Room, 1 King Bed (Skyline Loft with Soaking Tub).
| Category | When to pick it |
|---|---|
| Room, Balcony (Ocean Panoramic) / Room, Terrace (Ocean Vista) | Private balcony and best for ocean views and short stays |
| Miami Suite / Suite, 1 Bedroom | Separate living area for relaxing in‑room meals or longer stays |
| Room, 1 King Bed (Skyline Loft with Soaking Tub) | If you want a soaking tub and loft layout |
